Oke that is offcourse your own choice too bad it did not get solved for you with the advise right here and remember even with the paid version you don't get updates yet
You can, use an ISO tool like UltraISO/PowerISO or a simple oscdimg commandline or a GUI for it. But are you sure you really need a specific edition like Pro-WS?
Guess! the HP Z800 has no UEFI Bios so it can not take usage of the ReFs file system in Windows 10 WS.
I have a E5-2690V3 system that I use for media creation that I would like to try this build out on but when it comes to doing this I am a complete Noob.
It's OK. You guys were definitely a big help but when it comes to doing stuff like this I am way out of the loop, especially how to run all these programs correctly.

"Enthousiast, post: 1413464, member: 104688"]The old activation on 16251<>16288 doesn't work on builds outside of the given rang
@Enthousiast I installed the Preview of RS2 Build 17107 and chose Home edition during installation, the moment I reached the desktop, I changed the product key to my actual Windows 10 Pro for WS key (not a generic one) it took some time while its doing the upgrade then rebooted. Now when I check, it still says: but when I did this on Build 16299.125 switching from Home to pro for WS using the same method actually gave me ProfessionalWorksatation under CBS. What gives?
It's explained 100's of times, on 16299.xxx the license switches don't work 100%, on rs4 pre_releases it's fixed.
